The Arizona Wildcats host the California Golden Bears Saturday in week 10 Pac-12 conference college football action from Arizona Stadium.
The California Golden Bears will look to build on a 39-25 win over Oregon State in their last game. Chase Garbers has thrown for 1,979 yards, 14 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on 63.5% pasing while also rushing for 365 yards and 3 scores. Damien Moore leads Cal’s ground attack with 502 rushing yards and 6 TDs and Christopher Brooks also has 335 rushing yards this season. Trevon Clark leads Cal’s receiving group with 469 receiving yards and 3 scores while Jeremiah Hunter and Kekoa Crawford each have 300+ receicing yards and another three Golden Bears have at least 100 receiving yards this season. On defense, Elijah Hicks leads Cal with 46 total tackles and a pair of interceptions while Daniel Scott has a team-high 3 interceptions and Cameron Goods has 3.5 sacks this season.
The Arizona Wildcats will be out to bounce back from a 41-34 loss at the hands of USC in their last game. Will Plummer has thrown for 706 yards, 2 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on 55.2% passing while Gunner Crus has 536 passing yards with 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions and Jordan McCloud has 481 passing yards with 2 touchdowns and 5 picks.

Tayvian Cunningham and BJ Casteel each have 200+ receiving yards while three other Wildcats have 100+ receiving yards this season.

California is 15-5 ATS in their last 20 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win. Arizona is 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 home games and 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games as a home underdog.
I get the case that could be made either way here, but I’m looking at the under. The Golden Bears have the better QB in Chase Garbers, but the offense hasn’t been anything to write home about and speaking of bad offense, just look at the Arizona Wildcats. These are two teams that have trouble moving the football and putting points on the board could end up being an issue too in this game. Give me the under.
